You could try:
Code Sample
$ wget -c http://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/769/sane-backends-1.0.14.tar.gz -O /tmp/sane-backends-1.0.14.tar.gz

That didn't look to have any acer or benq files in either - maybe you could get them from the oem site?

Hi Juanito,
I downloaded than sane=backend. Similar to the earlier three. The md5sum matches if I use Emelfn but 'fails' if I try info from DSL book (pg113).
Anyway have saved the file in a dcty on my hd.

Do I need additional files? Also what is the command to run scan?.

System/Stats/PCI shows that the card is recognized.
TIA

edit: I downloaded that sane-backends.1.0.14.tar.gz file.
Still a 'newbie".

Aaah - perhaps you are mixing a standard tarball with a mydsl .tar.gz extension? See page 202 of the dsl book.

To be able to use xscanimage, you have to untar sane-backends.1.0.14.tar.gz (which is a standard tarball)  and then compile the application using ./configure, make and make install.

Thanks,
Will try follow instructions on pg203 of Book.

The DSL book is an excellent source.

Edit: Got 'lost" at step 8 and step 9, pg 203 book.
configure -prefix=
Is 'prefix' replaced by 'artec" which is the name of the pci for my scanner?
Sorry for newbie query.

No, prefix means the top dir where to install. Prefix=/usr would install everything in /usr/bin, /usr/lib etc.
